    Abstract: Described herein is a method for training a machine learning model to determine a source of error contribution to multiple features of a pattern printed on a substrate. The method includes obtaining training data having multiple datasets, wherein each dataset has error contribution values representative of an error contribution from one of multiple sources to the features, and wherein each dataset is associated with an actual classification that identifies a source of the error contribution of the corresponding dataset; and training, based on the training data, a machine learning model to predict a classification of a reference dataset of the datasets such that a cost function that determines a difference between the predicted classification and the actual classification of the reference dataset is reduced.

    Abstract: Parameters of a structure (900) are measured by reconstruction from observed diffracted radiation. The method includes the steps: (a) defining a structure model to represent the structure in a two- or three-dimensional model space; (b) using the structure model to simulate interaction of radiation with the structure; and (c) repeating step (b) while varying parameters of the structure model. The structure model is divided into a series of slices (a-f) along at least a first dimension (Z) of the model space. By the division into slices, a sloping face (904, 906) of at least one sub-structure is approximated by a series of steps (904', 906') along at least a second dimension of the model space (X). The number of slices may vary dynamically as the parameters vary. The number of steps approximating said sloping face is maintained constant. Additional cuts (1302, 1304) are introduced, without introducing corresponding steps.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of detection, registration and quantification of an image is described. The method may include obtaining an image of a lithographically created structure, and applying a level set method to an object, representing the structure, of the image to create a mathematical representation of the structure. The method may include obtaining a first dataset representative of a reference image object of a structure at a nominal condition of a parameter, and obtaining second dataset representative of a template image object of the structure at a non- nominal condition of the parameter. The method may further include obtaining a deformation field representative of changes between the first dataset and the second dataset. The deformation field may be generated by transforming the second dataset to project the template image object onto the reference image object. A dependence relationship between the deformation field and change in the parameter may be obtained.
